Found this little online game a few days ago. Its Pictionary and its great.

I thought it would be really hard at first but pretty much you need mild mouse drawing skills and a vocabulary.

(Blush) Any fellow Tragically Hip fan is okay by me. Being from Kingston and all, I love them as life itself. I’ll tell you my many Hip stories sometime.

Back to Underdogs…

Anyone else ever play \*\*High Command{/B]? Great little WWII strategy game. Remarkably addictive. It’s on underdogs; give it a shot.

Also try {B]Sword of the Samurai\*\*.

**Teabag** is right it’s very good- very addictive. I would find an appropriate 12 step program before you download it. You won’t have time to find one once you start playing. You might want them to pick you up on monday to start the rehab.

That said… Snood rocks!  
Um… and… I can like… stop playing anytime I want… I don’t have a problem with snood- I’m in control!

Uh… just one more game!

Funny you should mention this… Guess who just got back from seeing them play live? C’mon, guess.

Okay it was me.

The arena I saw them in only seats a couple of thousand, so it was a killer show (I guess I don’t really need to say that, it’s kinda implied with The Hip).

Two and A half hours of music, old and new. I though I had died and gone to heaven.

And please tell me your Hip stories, I beg you. I would love to hear them.

Try [http://www.dogfighter.net](http://www.dogfighter.net) - it’s responsible for a serious drop in productivity in this office. It’s sponsored by Airfix, the model plane company - and the theme is flying a 1/72 scale model aircraft around your house. As silly as it sounds, it’s FUN!
